Otto Stummer practiced as a neurologist in his own practice for nearly forty years and developed a short-term therapy method that he called psychoregulation. Stummer continually standardized his approach, believing that "good psychotherapy is as little individualized as a good medication." Patients were to regain control over their lives as quickly as possible. The method is as unusual as it is effective and is suitable for self-therapy: Stummer prescribed "sentences." With this sentence technique, he treated thousands of patients. The book contains texts and therapy guidelines that Otto Stummer wrote for patients.
